HUMILITY: The starting point of all spiritual progress is the admission that one is full of base instincts, that one is floundering in darkness and is also stagnant and one prays to the Supreme for Light. The great Hindi poet Kabir in one of his couplets says: " I am a sinner over many births and am filled with toxin from head to foot. You are the queller of all afflictions; therefore uplift me. " The Upanishdic aphorism says: " Asato ma sat gamaya, tamaso ma jyotir gamaya, mrityo ma amirtam gamaya. " (Brihadaranayaka Upanishad). It means: " Lead me from unworthy to those with subsistence and merit, from darkness to light, from inactivity to ever widening thought and action.
